Valerie
Winwood Steve Lyrics

So wild standing there
She was standing wild, with her hands in her hair.

With her hands in her hair
She had her hands within her hair and was looking wild.

I can't help remember
I remember clearly where she touched me.

Just where she touched me
I remember the exact spot where she touched me.

There's still no face
I can't recall her face anymore.

Here in her place
Someone else has taken her place.

So cool, she was like Jazz on a summer's day
She was very cool and refreshing, just like jazz on a summer's day.

Music, high and sweet
She had a high and sweet musical voice.

Then she just blew away
She just disappeared suddenly.

Now she can't be that warm
She can't be as warm as she used to be.

With the wind in her arms
She's gone with the wind, and it's like holding her in my arms.

Valerie, call on me
Valerie, please reach out to me.

Call on me, Valerie
Please call me, Valerie.

Come and see me
Come and visit me.

I'm the same boy I used to be
I am still the same person as I used to be.

Love songs fill the night
Love songs are filling the night sky.

But they don't tell it all
Love songs can't express everything about love.

Not how lovers cry out
Songs can't express how lovers cry out in pain.

Just like they're dying
They cry as if they are dying.

Her cries hang there, in time, somewhere
I can still hear her cries echoing in my memory.

Someday, some good wind
One day, a good wind might blow her back to me.

May blow her back to me
Maybe one day, she will come back to me.

Some night I may hear
At night, I might hear her again.

Her like she used to be
She will be how she used to be.
